Day 4
Kapal Indah
This was a wreck dive, more specifically ship wreck; because Kapal Indah means Beautiful Ship. In fact, the ship WAS beautiful, it was at about 23 metres deep. 2 metres deeper than my limit, but who cares. There I saw two purple denise pigmy seahorses, they were both on the same sea fan. One was pregnant with a huge belly, so I'm hopping taht there will be more pigmy seahorses around. I love these pigmy seahorse, they are so cute and adorable. If only I could keep tehm as a pet, but we have too much pets already, and we must keep them in their natural habitat.

Magic Crack
Magic crack is awesome because it is a dull sandy bottom with patches of beautiful and colourful coral spread around randomly. So if you look around you'd see nothing, nothing, then suddenly something bright caught you eye- the patch of coral. In one of teh coral patches, I saw 2 white eyed moray eel. At first I thought there were only 1, but when I took a picture and zoomed right in I could just about see the eye of the second eeel. So As soon as I realised that there were two, I swam around to find a better position to capture the both of them.

Hairball2
I was hoping to see more hairy frogfish but only saw a warty frogfish. Oh well, it's still really awesome. I found 2 ocellated dragonets , side by side. It was pretty cool. Then I saw a banded shrimp, then I realised it had a friend- another banded shrimp. As it moved around, I saw a lionfish in the background, it made such a nice picture. Later on I saw an octopus that seemed to be hovering on the water. I remmebred when I had to do this in my course, it wasn't easy. But I wasn't really what this octopus was doin, it can't be hovering, that just ain;t right. I then saw a devil fish and an ambon scorpion fish. At first I thought it was rhinopias, but unfortunately, it wasn't.

NightDive at the House Reef of KBR
At first we had to swim against teh current, it wasn't too bad but it was still pretty strong. However if we went with the current, we would have had trouble getting back, we would have gone way too far. We started pretty early, when the sky was still quiite bright, we head out slowly and gently. JUst around the corner we found a lobster. It was medium sized, neither big nor small. As we swim along, we saw lots and lots of hermit crabs; but most of them were rather small. I also saw a pair of orntae ghost pipefish. At 40 minutes we swim back towards the resort, we found a spider crab, it was so ugly buut kind of cool. Anyways, we spent the last five minutes smwimming around the beach, the pillars of the docks made it seem like a wreck dive. It felt like we were swimming around a ship wreck, but then when you see your computer gauge, it reads 3 metres. hahah.
